Spool Flange results with 467

If we can get together on your way back, we'll do the timing.

If the netz says so, then it has to be true, you might as well go with a ve.

You say that like it's a bad thing. :poke: If anything, the VE makes some of the best hp:tq ratio from all of its low end fueling.

There's been a fix for spooling large chargers out for a while and it works better than anything. It's called efilive. LOL

I went the ported head/cam route, since I can't have EFIlive. It works pretty well too!

This is pretty much going to look like me climbing someones leg to swing from their nuts. I'd post it in a thread already started if I knew which one to post it in.

When we installed it, I backed off the pre-boost and the starwheel because I was already hot and smokey. I went a little too far, now I'm damn near smokeless until 30psi and then it starts to haze pretty thick.

Cruising EGT's are down over 100* to 600* at 55mph on average roads (little up and a little down).

The fun part (coasting at 1000rpm/25mph locked in OD, and then holding it to the AFC limit):
2psi at 1200rpm
4psi at 1300rpm
6-7psi at 1400rpm
10psi at 1500
fully lit by 1650rpm.

With more fuel I'm sure it would be faster, it feels laggy LOL It comes on real smooth like compounds. If it's not locked, just in OD, the tires will spin under 55mph if the roads even look slick. I can also cruise at near idle rpm now with the converter locked, so when I come into towns with speed limits I can just slow down, and then speed right back up when I get through. My mileage has gone up considerably.

I did some testing tonite, if I lugged the tar out of it in OD locked I could build about 8psi at 1500rpm and then it climbs from there. It does come on real smooth like you say, but mine takes a while to climb and its pretty smoky.

Back off that pre-boost a half turn, and tighten the starwheel a few more clicks, this is the method I'm using to tune mine. That and pulling 13k lbs behind me LOL Real easy to see where the fuel can be tuned out then.

Sounds like you got all the boost leaks figured out though.
 
Glad to hear you finally got it on mike. I know it made the cast version of the 467 I previously ran a very fun all around combination.

Yup, it's just a smooth running truck now. All rpm's are driveable, instead of just 1600+ LOL
 
Has anyone had one of these fail. Just curious, have no experience with one.

Not that I'm aware of. Just be sure to use HD line (I used injection line) on the nipple so that it will resist heat and melting. Don't want that line breaking and slamming the valve shut at 50psi+, drive pressure sky rockets. Someone has had that misfortune.
 
Yes we have had two fail. Both from our own doing:

-First one we didn't have a regulator on before the quick spool valve, and 100psi+ blew out the controlling diaphragm.

-Second one we got to the point of rather late fuel, and some spray, and it just became a spacer in a hurry. With that being said, the turbine housing went from divided to undivided in that same span of time.

I've had a line or two fail, not the flange itself. Drive went to 160psi pretty quick with all the exhaust going through one volute. This can be solved simply by using fuel injection hose to run air to the flange actuator which is rated for super silly psi and getting the signal from after the intercooler where air is much much cooler.
 
What are yall calling fuel injection hose, like hard line or what?
 
I kept bursting the 250psi F.I. hose that I use for a reference line on my gate, I went to a local hydraulic shop and they made me a line for the first foot of my setup. I really think the problem was heat, not pressure
